Arts you say? Sounds interesting.

Before you arrived I was the hyperactive dude for a while too, but even before knowing what was going on, I was recluted by the same guy who recluted you and had to quit everything later on, tricky little thing, politics.

I am always interested in how that citizen was so good at "recluting" people when the Free Democrats couldn't, even when approaching newbies right out of the immigration queue - but I suppose where all that ended up with the current "TNC potato sack" breaking. It's harder to recruit to a party of principle but it means a more resilient party in the long run.

QuoteIt's a good idea to stay out of politics, but having a seat in the Cosa is kind of fun. If you can afford the $10 dollars, making your own party seems fun, isn't it?

It is kind of fun, but it also means you become a "main character" in politics, with people from all sides lobbying you for your vote, to join their coalition, etc, and you make enemies as fast as you make friends. This is why we brought in the provision for "1 seat for new citizens", to bring in a low-stakes way to start in politics. For some reason people have just not been interested in that. Wild, as 1 seat in the last Cosa would have changed everything.

I think this info should be added to the New Citizen Guide, provided to new citizens.
When I Joined I had no idea what the Cosa was and didn't understand why would I care about one seat in it; now I'm spending 2 coffees worth of money for 1 seat.

1 vote will get you at least 2, maybe 3 seats!

I know that I mentioned this as an option when I talked with new citizens. I don't know if it continued after I was MinImm. That may be why its use declined. But I am still glad to have co-sponsored the legislation and hope it will be used more in the future.

That provision is criminally underutilized. Would be a lot of fun to see newer citizens taking advantage of it in the future!

For sure -- we've had a couple people do it, but it probably needs promotion again.  Maybe we need a quickstart guide for them added to the What's Going On page?

May also be worth the MinImm -- whether the incumbent or their successor -- making a note of alerting them to its existence once they've been naturalized.

Yes, I agree.  That was done for a couple of months, and it had great success.  We should get back to it.

Good idea. Where's the text ? I think we owe a clear information to new citizens being proposed a seat in the Cosa, explaining we forbid broosking and that there are risks of political pressure when voting.

Interesting note from Day 1 of voting. Nearly a third of all votes so far from the province of Maricopa alone. The cabana is rocking with 7 votes already on Day 1.

That's because Maricopa is the best province. (Says a Maricopan that has not voted yet lol)

I believe it now. Maricopa is still in the lead for voters at 14(!)
